UAH MIPS Ceilometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.101

Summary
This dataset contains University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) MIPS Ceilometer
data collected on 21 May, 31 May, 3-5 June and 11 June 2012 as part of the
Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Project (DC3) 2012 project. The
ceilometer is a Viasala CL51 which is a pulsed laser that operates at 0.910
um. The range is from 0 to 15 km, vertical resolution is 10 m and time
resolution is 15 s. Refer to the documentation for a description of the data
format.
